-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- Watch out Howard Stern , it looks like Steve Harvey is angling for the title of `` King of All Media . ''

Both outspoken men have much in common , including being unabashed divorcees , best-selling authors whose books were turned into hit movies -LRB- `` Private Parts '' and `` Act Like A Lady , Think Like A Man , '' respectively -RRB- and hosts of no-holds-barred radio shows heard throughout the nation . But when it comes to TV , Harvey just may have the leg up .

Stern made his prime time debut this year as a judge on `` America 's Got Talent ; '' Harvey hosts `` Family Feud '' and his daytime talk show , `` The Steve Harvey Show , '' is set to premiere on September 4 .

`` I think it 's going to be great , '' Harvey said about the show , which is currently in production at NBC 's Chicago studios . `` It 's going to be a daytime show with a wonderful comedic spin where people get to laugh out loud during the daytime . At the same time , we 're going to have great take-aways about medical and weight , dieting , parenting , relationships . I got a lot to draw on . ''

Harvey , 55 , joins a growing list of daytime TV hosts looking to fill the void left by Oprah Winfrey . Katie Couric and Ricki Lake will debut new shows this fall , and mainstays Ellen DeGeneres and Wendy Williams have been renewed through 2014 .

Harvey is confident he can stand out from the crowd . `` I think the uniqueness of -LRB- my show -RRB- is the male perspective , which is missing from daytime television , '' he said .

`` Steve is like that wise but funny uncle we all have , '' Dawn Davis , Harvey 's publisher at Harper Collins said . `` The one with sage advice at graduation , and a healthy but gentle dose of truth-talking at Thanksgiving . ''

That personality goes a long way , said Premiere Networks President Julie Talbott whose company syndicates `` The Steve Harvey Show '' on radio across the country to 7 million listeners .

`` Steve Harvey 's audience growth and ratings have been consistently impressive , '' Talbott said . `` His passion for entertaining has allowed him to connect with people across multiple platforms . He 's truly a renaissance man . ''

As one of `` The Original Kings of Comedy , '' he is used to trying to connect with audiences , but he recently retired from stand-up , claiming , `` Comedy is n't what it used to be . There are not the venues available for these young acts to hone their skills and talents , which is really a shame . It 's like musicians have become a dying breed ; comedians have , too . ''

In August 2012 , 15,000 fans attended his final stand-up show at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas . The concert , which was also streamed live Pay Per View , was the perfect send-off for Harvey , who cried tears of gratitude and joy at the end of the show .

`` I think it 's a great time to get out , '' he told CNN , backstage at the Arena . `` I do n't want to be 60 hoping y' all come see me . I do n't want to be one of the ones where people say ` Man , whatever happened to so and so ? ' What people do is stay too long and then just all of a sudden , you ai n't funny no more and people stop coming to see you . Instead of selling out theaters , you 're back in comedy clubs and your light diminishes . I never wanted that ; I wanted to go out on top . ''

Harvey knows success is never guaranteed , but he remains faithfully optimistic . `` I 've never done a talk show . I do n't know how it 's going to go , but I also know that God did n't bring me this far to leave me , so He causes things to happen . ''
